Is there a lid for every pot?

Seth has got his life all figured out. He’s not quite four yet.
Apparently, he’s a planner. Unlike Marc and me. I’m 33 and I STILL don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.
Since Seth was around 2 1/2, he’s set his sights on becoming a doctor and a daddy someday.
He recently informed me that he wants to have eight children — all boys. He even has their names all picked out. They are: Hunter, Logan (like his two cousins) Mitchell, Jacob, Austin, Tanner, Michael (like his friends) and Seth (because apparently, he wants a jr).
I told him I don’t know if he’ll be able to find a woman crazy enough to agree to that sort of madness. The poor woman would spend most of her time pregnant, recovering from being pregnant or on her knees trying to wipe up all of the pee that missed the toilet but hit the walls, vanity and anything else. (Shudder)
So I’m teaching him how to sort laundry these days, feed the dog as well as pick up his room and clean up after himself. Because in 20-something more years, if he still wants eight children he’s going to need a high paying job and some serious housekeeping skills so some poor, poor woman doesn’t lose her mind.

I’d say maybe your son has already set his sights on Angelina Jolie, who has said she plans to adopt a child from every country.
She should be tired of ol’ Brad in twenty years, if Seth doesn’t mind an older woman…
Ha…he sure is! I’m on my way to being that woman…scary
BUT how do you feel about the potential of having eight grandsons?
All I can do is laugh. That’s great. Well, if you want to have 8 kids… you can use that excuse to get him to do everything.
Also, you might want to mention to him that if he wants to guarantee that all eight children are boys he might seriously need to consider giving up on the whole getting his wife pregnant for 8 years straight thing altogether and just adopt them all.
I’m sure she’d be thrilled at not having to actually bear eight children.
8 kids, awesome! Pets? each kid will need their own puppy to take care of, right? Don’t forget to remind him of that.
8 grandchildren is going to make for some terribly expensive holiday seasons!
Great post.
8 kids?!?!! lock him in a closet now.
Or he could just have grandma watch the whole flock?
This is bad, I know it, and yet I can’t stop thinking it…
Has he met any of the Duggar daughters?
*laughs* That’s a number he better hide until after the wedding.
That’s great; thanks for the laugh =) Your son sounds precious.
Tell young Seth to go for it! And maybe he’ll have better luck than this very eligible bachelor who cannot find a woman to have ONE child with. *grumble*
Tell him to start young, it could take a while. Maybe get him into a preschool right away!!
Don’t worry. When he mentions this master plan to every girl he dates, he will get summarily dumped ( unless she is an Osmond).
Seriously - Can you imagine our now husbands saying “I’d like you to know up front that I plan for you being a vessel for my man seed - and it will be 8 boys - and I have their names picked out”
Even IF you are buying my drinks, I think I would have edged away to the door….
No Seth. Romance is the key - not the promise of being perpetually pregnant….
Have you seen that show called 14 kids and moving in….I think she’s up to 16 now and she home schools
and the kids helped build their 7000 square foot house…It’s not a bad deal, of course I have no idea what the dad does for a living but I bet one of those girls is already looking for a boy like Seth.
LoL…he’s awsome….I’m sure he’ll change his mind as he gets older……but if not…you are gonna have alot of Christmas presents to buy!!!
I love Seth! He’s such a character!
Good job on the teaching him how to do housework! Some girl will thank you one day. I know I thank my MIL all the time. My husband cleans and does laundry and diapers…..but he doesn’t want 8 kids…thank goodness.
My bet is after the first 1 or 2 he’ll change that tune!
LOL This is funny. I can relate, my son told me that he expects his son to stay home and milk the cow! Whatever THAT means!!!
Hopefully he’ll cange his mind later on… If not, I’d just rather not think about it!
Way too cute! He’s going to have to find himself a little Frauline Maria, though!
OMG, that rules. And the names? He’s killing me, KILLING ME!
